11.3 To Turn Radio ON and OFF

You may want to turn your wireless adapter's radio on and off to:
• Conserve your computer's battery when not connected.
• Meet the requirement to turn off radios on airplanes to prevent
interference.
Two methods to turn the radio on and off are:
The hardware switch
•
• The Wireless Network button in Windows Mobility Center
A common cause for users not being able to connect to a wireless network is
due to the radio being turned off. If you are unable to connect to a wireless
network, verify that your radio is turned on by both the hardware switch and the
software Enable/Disable button. Verify that you have checked both methods.
